Mary is a ten-year-old girl from Dorset in the UK. She's got long, brown hair and brown eyes. She is tall for her age and she likes to play sports. Her favourite sport is rugby. She has got two pets: a cat and a dog. Their names are Pat and Fluffy. Pat, the dog, has got a small dog house in the garden. Her cat Fluffy is three years old, but still very playful, like a kitten. Mary's mother is called Elena. She is forty years old and she's a teacher. She's very tall and she's got blonde hair and brown eyes. She hasn't got any pets, but she walks Mary's dog sometimes. Elena has a best friend named Laura. Elena has been married to Nick for almost fifteen years. He is thirty-eight years old and he's a bus driver. He is quite short and he's has got brown hair and green eyes. Nick has got his own horse. It's a stallion and his name is Lightning. Nick's best friends, Tom, Jaafar and Mahit, are also his colleagues. He sees them almost every day at work. Elena and Nick have got three children. Apart from their daughter Mary they have two sons: Pyotr and Sean. Sean is six and Pyotr is twelve years old. Sean's hair is blonde, Pyotr's hair is brown. Both boys have got blue eyes. Pyotr's pet is a hamster. He has named her Tiny because she is so small. Sean has got a goldfish. Its name is Goldie. All three children are pupils at the village school where Elena teaches.
